These Undowners have never been insincere about their musical direction; they've just never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Their songs speak of love, loss, good times and bad times, bouncing around the gamut between edgy Americana and folk-infused funk. And although many of their "stories" are true (like Mary's House, the dramatic under-story behind Lincoln's assassination, or The Black Hole, the sad tale of a coal-mining boomtown's collapse), it's the clever writing and simple wisdom that make them compelling.

The band's music showcases the soulful singing and songwriting of Allun Cormierand Clay Prewitt, and the phenomenal flatpicking of Blake Collins. Bassist "Doc" Marshall and drummer Steven Reese create one of the tightest, most dynamic rhythm sections in the region. Together, the group gives rise to authentic mountain soul - and stories you can move your feet to.
